The stars and stripes were out front. No professional racers ride under the stars and bars, as that was the Confederate flag during the civil war.

Yes, I would like to see some video of it in action. I can understand how it works by looking at it, but it wouldn't seem to me that, in some situations where it is needed, such as bigger landings, that it would be able to switch before the shock compressed. Even if it did manage to switch, I would think there would be some delay causing the shock to compress-decompress-compress throughout the motion, which would feel a bit odd, if not throw your balance. It's difficult to tell from looking at pictures, I want video.

His fork was hardly ever in use! He needs to either ride faster or get something with less travel, because that fork didn't belong on that trail at all with him.

Why has this been reposted?

mnorris, that's another magic trick. For the card trick, both times he was trying to "switch" the cards without the guy noticing, he had jokers in his hand he had stacked just below the aces, which he was placing at the bottom or somewhere into the deck. He was intentionally "messing up" on the first try to place the first joker, then just sticking the second joker in on the second try.

Just from watching the video, the bike looks fantastic. No noticeable pedal bob sapping the riders energy, and it can obviously hammer the downhills.

Good looking trail you got there. What's going on with that Taco though? TRD Sport wheels, no decals, and no hood scoop?

Who else focused their attention on the "grasses that produce visions?"

I doubt Yeti wanted to let Gwin go, it was just that Trek could compensate him better for his services.

English classes aren't what I consider bullshit classes. While yes, they have very little relevance to an actual engineering degree, they are required to be taken by state laws (here at least, I don't know about other places). What I'm talking about are elective type classes which are taken generally for fun, or to learn something unrelated to your degree. I know that at other colleges and universities these tend to be commonplace, but where I go, they do not exist for the most part. I have friends from others schools who took classes on sign language, horseback riding, dancing, snowboarding, etc. which are what I'm talking about. At Georgia Tech, the closest thing there is to that is art history, and that is basically the only one. It might even be required for architecture majors, I'm not sure. There are no free elective type classes though. With that being said, I think a lot of people think are misreading what I meant by a bullshit class, which is probably my fault for using the terminology in the first place. I'm not saying that it is stupid or a waste of time to take these classes, or trying to put down the class or quality of education in any way. I would love to take these classes, I'm just saying that where I go, classes to teach you something fun or interesting do not exist outside the core curriculum for a major.
